"It's just not Christmas without the B.C. Clark jingle."If you've spent any time at all in Oklahoma, you know that the holiday season has officially arrived when you hear the B. C. Clark Christmas Jingle. If you grew up here, you know that this little jingle is a part of Okie culture. I can remember hearing it over 40 years ago. And, yes, I can sing every word of it by heart. Little kids sing it like a carol. Megan Mullally (Will & Grace, Stealing Harvard) performed it on The Tonight Show. Not bad for a jewelry store commercial.
I wonder if other states or locations have similar traditions?
Listen to the Jingle (or Watch it).
History of the Jingle.
Jewelry is the gift to give,
'cause it's the gift that'll live and live.
So give the gift you know can't fail
From B.C. Clark's anniversary sale.
Most sales are after Christmas
But Clark's is just before.
'Most everything is marked way down,
Savings you can't ignore
At Oklahoma's oldest jeweler,
Since 1892.
So give the gift you know can't fail
From B.C. Clark's anniversary sale

Awesome!
this jingle has been in my Christmas tradition for all of my 53 Christmas' on this planet. My kids just hate it when it comes on the radio, because they know dad will be singing right along, at the top of his lungs...
